Hey guys,
So I decided to take a stab at altering SystemUI.apk to uncenter the clock, but I've run into some problems. Just FYI, I am total noob at this so I could be doing something incredibly stupid, but oh well.
Anyway, I was able to successfully decompile the apk, edit res\layout\status_bar.xml to set <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock... android:gravity="right">, build the apk again, sign it, and push it to my phone, however after all that the status bar just does not show up. I don't think it's the decompiling, building, or signing that's messing up because I performed all of those without editing any of the xml files, pushed it to my phone, and everything worked perfectly.
So what am I missing? Is changing "center" to "right" really enough to kill the statusbar? Do I need to edit something in framework-res.apk or some other file to be compatible with the new SystemUI.apk? Or is it that I need to change something in the smali folders as well as the res folders for it to work?
Any ideas that you guys have would be awesome. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something simple, or if I'm in way over my head with this stuff and need to do more than the hour and a half research and trial and error that I've put in so far =) Thanks guys!
There's a bit more to it than that
There's some moving around to do too.
I attached the original status_bar.xml for you to compare to. (it's already decompiled)
If you wanted you could just replace it with this one. Thought it might help to see what all was changed.
(the attached zip file is not flashable)
Don't sign system apps either. Signing may be why it isn't showing up but I've never signed a system app to know and without looking at it I think you need to put right|center not just right and I am not positive but you may need to move the padding of the status bar icons to the left so there is no overlap.

Easy guys. Just take a stock systemui.apk and move /res/layout/status_bar.xml over to the modded one. Then push. Don't even need to decompile.

Well his method really is a walk in the park if you can move one file to another lol.

Hmm, something is still wrong. I tried editing the status_bar.xml again, but the status bar still wouldn't show up. Then I deleted the file that was there and pasted in the stock status_bar.xml that Kane posted, pushed it to my phone, and still no status bar/notification pull down. Am I not compiling the apk right?
I'll be on IRC for the next 40 minutes or so if anyone wants to hop on and help me out =)
Did you compile the apk after replacing the XML?
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2
Yup, I actually finally got it to work and just need to tweak a couple things. I took the SystemUI.apk from the latest ICK.zip update, modified the SystemUI.apk file, then created a flashable zip for it. I don't know if it was using a flashable zip that worked, where just using adb push didn't, or if starting over with a different SystemUI.apk was what did it.
@kane: BTW, do you know the hex color code for your ICK theme icons? I was trying to match the color for the clock, but it's slightly off. And Thanks for the stock apk, without comparing the two, I never would have figured out the format for putting the clock back =)
@beamer: Thanks for the heads up to not sign the apk, worked without doing so. That was an annoying step anyway =)
the stock ICS colors are 33B5E5 and 0099CC
I used 33B5E5 for all the edits I did in the ICK theme
0099CC is a little bit darker
I didn't read the whole post but after pushing systemui did you reboot if you don't reboot you won't get a statusbar

I did. I'm thinking the problem was actually the dalvik-cache, maybe? After i got the clock right aligned, i tried to hide some of the status icons like mute and the alarm clock, but i couldn't get any of them hidden and it was driving me crazy. Then i decided to wipe dalvik and it worked perfectly.

Origional dread ginger by spc_hicks09
I know of a few members including myself that wanted to take a look at this on MT's Broken Out 1.1 So, Here it is.
This is from the final version and is Pre-Latest Update I have not seen enough of a reason to go through the trouble of the new update. if anybody knows of any reason feel free to let me know.
Themed from Dread Ginger:
Deskclock.apk
Mms.apk
Phone.apk
Contacts.apk
Settings.apk
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
RES_cappuccino.apk
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
The ever important Calculator.apk
Browser.apk
Things Added:
1. org.adw.launcher-1.apk for pop up long press menu
2. About 95 seperate Battery charging animations (sucked)
3. Fixed bug in Framework causing Re-boot after power long press instead of pop up menu.
4. PowerControl.apk
5. Removed Grey Background from Status Pull down.
6. Hours of other fun stuff...
known issues:
Has Blue text left over in settings, or at least I do, let me know if you find more issues.
Dread Ginger ported to BrokenOut 1.1
Install Instructions:
Update 5/30/12/ BrokenDread_V1.1 - bootanimation.zip Fix
Re-Uploaded with Razr Bootani to fix Boot Animation

As all ways, wipe cache and Dalvik,
Flash and enjoy your...BrokenDread

I thought i added an update with right align clock, and what is it that you are waiting for on update? Icons removed, cause that'll take some research ughhh..
Your very welcome, I wasnt to thrilled about it at first but it's really growing on me.
Thanks for your hard work, looks great...
your'e welcome glad you like it.

Upon closer inspection you are correct sir, I will update today.
for some reason the animation DRT put in isnt working with zip but works if you push it manually like I did.
this and the ick themes are by far the best ones I have seen in a while....thanks for all the work!
To clarify spc_hicks09 made this theme I just ported it, but you're thanks are appreciated
This looks great High! Thanks for sharing.

I agree, they definitely are too light.I'm loving this theme but one suggestion I have is to make the dial pad numbers a little brighter if possible.I like the red but the numbers are so faint they are difficult too see.is there any was to make them the same color red as on the lock screen?

I had been bothered by that too, as well as the white dial screen...
I completely agree about the white dial screen as well. Have you had any luck with correcting this or the numbers? Also, what are your plans for this once broken out for zv9 becomes available from mt? I saw he released it to some testers today and it has received some pretty good feedback. Are you planning on upgrading to the new BOR and if so will you be porting this for it as well? Thanks!
Here is my themed transparent MotoMms. You must be rooted and have an unlocked bootloader to flash the zip. I would suggest going into your system/app folder and saving your MotoMms and the odex file some place else before flashing mine, just in case. Once that is done then make sure you are in WP bypass mode and flash away, enjoy! You can also go into your system/app folder and change the MotoMms.apk to MotoMms.apk.bak and the leave the odex file alone, then flash the zip once in WR bypass mode, let me know if you have any problems sometimes it takes a few tries.
**Note** some of my text is blue, yours will be all white!
This is the original odex version of MotoMms.apk, so if your not running that specific Mms then it may do nothing for you.
Hit the thanks button if you like or use!
Any chance you could list what files you modified to get the clear background? I'd like the default MMS, but with a dark holo theme. I've decompiled the apk, but I'm not sure what file is the background.png. Also, which xml controls the text color? I appreciate your help!
Sure, I am taking a final right now, but will go into more detail later,,,right off the bat you have to change some png's in res/drawable xhdpi, some xml's in res/layout dealing with android background to a clear hex code like #00000000, and finally in res/ values, change the coding to let the wallpaper see through. Hope this helps, PM me and I can go into more detail. All of the changes can be made the same way to make it look inverted if you like.

Hi !
First I own an Xperia V, ICS 4.0.4 with 9.0.1.D.0.10 Firmware
So , I use Nemus Launcher (It's the smoothest launcher for me) which has a notification function and can display notification bubbles in the top left hand corner of an APP in the homescreen.
My question is : How can I mod the APK of Nemus launcher in order to display the bubbles at the top right hand corner of an APP and IF POSSIBLE make it like iOS , I mean not completly on the application's icon but that is half in half out..
(Please look at the attached pic to see how it is..)
I know how to decompile an APK but to do what I described is beyond me :/
Please try to help me, Thanks !
